Hi all,

 

I thought I would show you how far I have got with the restoration of my zed.

Even looking at it now it dont look like I have done much but believe it or not it has taken me over 14 months to strip the car near enough to a bare rolling shell and then restore or replace nearly every part.

 

If I ever have the time I would like to make some sort of diary of the build as I have hundreds of pictures from the start up to the present time.

 

Here is a few pics:

 

Before restoration

Shell

Paint stripping

Rebuilt head lights sprayed Black with a tint of red glitter

 

Engine so far

 

New seat with interior trimmed to match

Bloody Hell Dan :eek: :eek: Well done mate, it looks incredible already. You must of worked really hard and put a stupid amount of time into it so far..... :bow: :bow:

 

Can't wait to see the finished product :duffer:

very nice bud, well done

wow!!! That red is really nice... its not a standard red is it?

Cheers Bud,

 

The car has taken every spare penny and time i have for over a year now.

 

What dont help is that im really fussy and everything has to be perfect which annoys me and people that has done work on the car:rofl:

 

The other day I had a guy come down to underseal and wax oil everything that could be done and I made sure it was everything that can be done.

 

I cant wait untill the car is finished but in my mind there is so much more that needs to be done i dont think it will ever be finished:rant:

The colour is the famous Rosso corsa red (Ferrari) I like it so much that i wouldnt have nothing but this colour as its the 3rd respray since owning her.

I have Ferrari Rosso Formula red, same as the F1 car... lovely when shined up!

What a fantastic job, well done buddy it'll all be worth it in the long run, those painstaking details always separate an average refurbish to an amazing job like yours :D

 

Keep up the good work :hyper:

Wow, looking great. Looking forward to the end result. :cool:

Fantastic mate, cant wait to see it finished. :hyper:

;) I was thinking the same lol

The time its taken to get it this far I think the slightest thing to go wrong will pi$$ me off.

 

But im building the car to enjoy it so it will get used as much as possible and stone chips etc will happen so i better get used to it.

 

Thanks for all your nice comments guys I know its not to everyones taste but im building a car for myself to how I would like the car to be and I like to be different and stand out from the crowed:)

superb matey... cant wait to see this in real life

Stunning so far Dan :bow:
